Potter Says They Don't Build This
Year

To a question asked him in Denver
last Wednesday. whether the Union Pa
cific contemplated further building op
Grafton, Manager Potter is reported to
have made this answer:
Not at present There will be very
little railroad building Of any sort tnl
year. Money is getting scarce 10 the
East. In fact mobry is more plentiful
10 the wet than in the states whence
money for rail,o d building comes. The
people are getting tired of railrord In
YES, ments, and are becoming exceedingly
cautious. We are bending our energies
towards improving the property that is
now being operated rather than extend
ing new lines. Our most popular move
thus far was the establishment OF
through ute from the Missouri river
to Portland. Travel over this line is
heavy, and on September | We vii! put
~ buffet cars all the way through -
| Oregonian.
The above does not correspond with
the announcement made few days ago
that or the 10th Of June the O. r. 4
n, company at their meeting determined
to build 1900 miles of railroad and that
work would comm ence soon after MI.
Potter reached This coast 10 September.
1t is hard FIR the public to determine,
who ia at the helm of this dual company
a, the present. 1t is authoritively pub
lished that the Union Pacific has leased
the o. Il. & N, property for ninety nine
years, at six per. cent. per annum, on
$40, 900 900 valuation, which practically
would be sale, and that the UnioI
Pacific has the entire management ant
control, and that Potter is the manager
) But still the 0. X & N company make
all its own announcements OF bushes
3 under its own name and apparently a
, though the Union Pacific was not know
5 10 the affairs Of the company. The q
0 II. Il N, say they are going to bull
r 1900 miles of hew road, as set forth i
1 another column and that work wi

The Prohibition Question.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST

l.
The Topeka Capital authority that
cannot be denied, disputed or gainsaid,
says: 1.-TWO years ago at least fifty news
papers in Kansas were abusing the pro-
hibition law, and pleading the cause of
the rumsell.rs. But the law is enforced
and not one paper In Kansas now favors
the re- establishment of the saloon. Here
in this beautiful city of Topeka the law
conquered its way step by step, and this
May morning finds US with population
Of nearly FIFTY thousand people-twice as
many as We had three years ago Bust
ness is brisk, and not man, woman OF
newspaper advocating the dram vendel
business. We get along we'll without
licensing dram selling, and nothing has
helped us more than the banishment oi
the saloons. The Atchi.cn Globe cou
fesses that, although it has steadily ad
hered to the belief that without saloons
Atchison would be the deadest town il
the state, it is now called upon to chroni
Gle the fact that the town without al
open saloon in its midst, has the onl.
genuine boom it has 10 nine years past
In the future the Globe is prohibition
organ with boom attached.

HISTORIAN.

The Press meeting ut Shoshone Falls
as organized on the 10th inst, is officer.
ed by president, two vice presidents
secretary aud treasurer and a historian.
We can comprehend the duties of all tut
the last. We can see some rroprlety IN
giving him q chance to write up tbs
history of the members Of the association
for the archives OF the association Tor
reieren e, but VIC cannot suppose it to be
for general circulation II the full his
tury of each member should be written
it might be distasteiul to some, and not
welcome to others. Then again it might
natter aud extol its members, in which
case it would render the association liable
to the charge OF only being self adula-
tion society on the patent medicine plan
and would only work good where re-
markable cures were known to have been
effected The historian cannot be ex.
pected to give an outline of Greek and
X ''nan history or the history of the diff
ferent nations Of the earth as they are
being made up to day, or of any one o.
them, or the history Of democracy OF
repubicanism, or of the mugwumps and
their present dilemma, or history OF al
these combined. The field would be al
together too broad for the pen Of any
one man, and it he is expected to tax,
up any one branch what branch? anC
for what purpose? II he is to write W
a history Of the territory, then he mus
have a data from which h ., can make vi
the unwritten history of the territory
There is an Indebtedness about the OBJ
ject to be sought by this officer which
needs an explanation made by the autho
OF the office, otherwise that officer ma,
stray widely from the object sought b.
creating said Office, aud then every
body would be disappointed aud fuole'
and the historian himself would only b
considered blk. We presume the com
J mittee who made out the list Of offices L
be filled can make Gear to the public tn
object intended by the creation Of tn
J office Ii he is to be left TO write al
iibiram upon any branch he may chouse
he will have no reason to complain, bu
the readers might have reascn to com
plan Of his selection Of \ branch o
h.s.ory.

ALDERMEN AND COWS.


: These are among the most useful
,n;ual, in our city. 1t would be
hardship to be deprived Of either. We
Quarrel to elect the one and work to buy
the other, willie, however, both are good
I, is not good that both should be III the
same place. An alderman, dressed up
,ooks we'll On the side walk and possibly
in his neisbbc,s orchard, but a COW looks
GU, of sphere in either place. We look
upou our aldermen as our 'clty fathers
They are we'll named Their sphere Is
q ,mevhat between a dry legislator and
An officer of the law. They should be
men Of cool judgement, benevolent IDEAS
and practical methods. They should DO
the best they can for all our people as a
father would do by all his children. A
father who has five boys will not allow
three, by agreement, to rob the two. II;
a part ask Que thing and the others an
other, contrary to it, he does not count
nose, to see which request he will grant
So our city fathers are requested to 90 a
certain thing by one petition and request
ed to refuse it by another, they apsht
not to weigh the petitions as old ABE
jokingly told his clerk to do, or to count
the names with view to do as the ma
iority wish. Such process is SIMPLY "a
question in arithmetic and might be done
by most of our school boys. When We
sa;ect. aldermen we look to their sense
of fair dealing and to their judgement as
men, We choose them because they
will do right between our people ana
make such ordinances as will protect the
property Of all our citizans. We are
told that petition asking tor an ord'-
nance preventing cattle to run at large
and a rernonstrance to it are before our
council. We think they ought to look
more ut the justice Of such an ordinance
than to the number Of names before
them. It may be right for our peopl
to keep COWS, but is it right that the.
should feed them on their neiehbor
shrubbery? Possibly it may not do muc'
4
harm fotscows and bulls to run at lars
in the streets during the day as they nov
do. but would it not DO better to shu
them up at night so that we may sleel
without having our yards invaded ant
our fruit and shrubbery destroyed by GU
ueighbors cows. We think We are no
unreasonable or fana,ical. We want GU
city council to do right between GU
citizens. 1t seems to US foolish to sa
an ordinance should not pass because
majority of our people remonstra'
against it. That means simply that
majority of our people arr in favor
allowing one man to pasture his CO"
his neighbors yard. Not oil OF the'
would do this but there ure some who d
not feed their cattle vt home becau'
they know they rob their neishbor
Should all our property be sacrificed
feed COWS? May We not expect that
who don't own COWS, but buy mil
should not be made to furnish pasture
some who prefer to keep their own COW
There is nothing in the streets for Il
COWS to ea.. The only object in letti'
them run is to allow them to prey up'
their neighbors. Is that right? IT
are obliged to feed them We ought to
permitted to milk them.
